If we remember back to this time a year ago, we were shocked with the news of a shooting at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek. Radio, TV, online and print reporters raced to the scene and were able to set up a media area in the parking lot of a daycare near the scene.

Shortly after I heard the news about last Sunday's Sikh Temple shooting, I couldn't help but think back to my day in April with Milwaukee police offers participating in the Tactical EMS Training class at the Waukesha County Technical College. The scenarios I watched matched up so closely with the real-life shooting in Oak Creek, that I had to give Officer Chad Stiles, the instructor at the class, a call to get his reaction.

Brian Ritchie and Ragani came together at Shank Hall Sunday night for a benefit-tribute concert for the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, commemorating those lost in the senseless act of violence that took place there last week.

Although it's unfortunate a tragedy had to occur to spur cultural awareness of Sikhism, Milwaukeeans can still take proactive steps to develop a greater respect for not just this group, but all of the city's diverse residents.
